The crisis of sexual offences particularly rape against women has been debatable
for police, judicial, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations. Rape in
both developed and developing countries especially in Iran includes a noticeable
number of unreported violence. Based on public opinion women themselves are
the main causes of this crime. Even in most cases victims are punished. Despite
the large amount of the victimization, not adequate arrangements have been
adopted by policy makers, to support these victims. Moreover, a humiliating and
hesitantly treatment to these victims and not paying attention to their statements
in criminal justice system caused them to be at the risk of secondary
victimization.
